Hey gang,
This is a new one to me. I've got a HPI G3.0 w/rotostart that is showing an odd symptom I've not run in to before and was looking for some input.
I got this used along with the MT2 from charliejp and am trying to get it dialed in. It fires up super easily but when giving it throttle it climbs rpm well but when letting off the gas anywhere between 1/2-WOT instead of climbing back down it dies and coasts. I'm not sure if that indicates weak compression, an air leak, or a failing glow plug... the usual suspects.
Compression isn't super tight (it *is* a used mill) but resistance feels good manually rotating and the mill fires up almost immediately with no problems. I can maintain a high idle just fine but the symptom occurred both at the settings I got it at and when set back to factory defaults. Getting a consistent normal idle has been problematic.
I've taken the G3.0 out and put in an Outlaw 18 SS w/pullstart in the meantime but would like to see if I can get the G3.0 issue fixed.
